"In the campaign of '56 two politicians of opposite | fell among the soldiers! There's where General opinions were engaged in the discussion of questions Jackson was during the battle of New Orleans!' which soon resulted in the abuse of prominent men "We give this as a noble example to our Brigaconnected with their respective parties. dier-Generals who are not fully posted on the art of war."

THE real grit is in the next one:

"Where was General Jackson during the battle of New Orleans?'-indignantly inquired the man of the Opposition-'where? why down behind the-' "Where was General Jackson,' interrupted the "Who made you?" said a teacher to a little flaxenDemocrat, 'you want to know; I can tell you where headed girl, tall enough for her chin to reach the he was. He was running around the field, kicking table. "Why, God; and he made father and mothe lighted matches out of the bomb-shells as they ther, and the stars and the stripes."

MRS. JENKINS.-"Why, Bridget, where's the Dining-room Carpet?" BRIDGET. "That old rag of a Carpet! When you went away you told me to sell all the rubbage. Mr. O'Grady gave me half a dollar for it; and mighty glad I was to get rid of it."

"Oh no, dear; He made the stars, but not the stripes."

"Why, if He made one, He must have made t'other; for the stars and stripes always go together."

How rapidly young Germany develops in Illinois! A correspondent says: "We have a brighteyed little Dutch girl to work in our family; Katreen is fourteen years old, and tends baby and makes herself generally useful. Three years ago her sister Leesbeth filled the same place. The latter is now a young lady working in town, and Katreen never wearies telling of her accomplishments. She wear a shay cur every day wid a long silk cape to it, den she got

hoops an' she walk on de sidewalk ven her work ish done.' We were agreeably surprised and expressed our admiration, when she continued: "And she vash Mister Tomkins vine cherts too, zen she make ze pies and ze cakes, and she look so pooty mit her new dress Sunday that my mudder don't know her ven she comes in.'

"Of course, Katreen,' I said; 'it was a great thing for Leesbeth that she went to town; she'd never learned as much at home, not if she'd lived to be as old as your mother.' 'My mudder? I knows more'n my mudder now,' said the young countrywoman of Mrs. Bayard Taylor; 'but den you know dey doesn't learn much in Chermany,' she added, apologetically."

DOCTOR PILGARLIC.-"Yes, I see-been eating ice-cream, bananas, pickles, mixed candy, and green apples. I shall have to administer Oleum Ricinum cum Mucilaginem, Syrupum Tolutanum, et Spiritum Lavandula That'll put him all right."

ANXIOUS MOTHER."Oh, Doctor, I'm afraid to give such strong medicines to the little Darling! Now wouldn't a dose of Castor Oil, mixed up with a little Gum and Tolu, and a few drops of Lavender to take off the taste, answer just as well? I always keep that in the house."
